Abstract

Photonic crystal superlattices based on silicon dioxide microspheres have unique structural, mechanical, chemical and optical properties. Due to the cost-effective self-assembly technology of their formation and a wide range of possible applications in electronics, photonics and laser technology, they are one of the most promising materials in nanoengineering. To move to the practical use of developments in this area, it is necessary to learn how to obtain structures with specified parameters. Therefore, the goal of this work was to develop scientific and technical solutions that allow the controlled self-organization of microspheres into a film structure with a specified number of layers.
